ἀδελφοῦ καὶ πατρὸς ἀπεκρινάμεθα· πατὴρ μέν p. 73 M. ἐστι πρεσβύτης, οὐ χρόνῳ μᾶλλον γεγηρακὼς ἢ ταῖς ἐπαλλήλοις δυστυχίαις, ὑφ’ ὧν γυμναζόμενος ἀθλητοῦ τρόπον ἐν πόνοις καὶ δυσκαρτερήτοις κακοπαθείαις ¹² διετέλεσεν· ἀδελφὸς δὲ κομιδῇ νέος ἐστίν, ἐκτόπως στεργόμενος ὑπὸ τοῦ πατρός, ἐπειδὴ καὶ ὀψίγονός ἐστι καὶ δυεῖν γενομένων ὁμομητρίων ἀπελείφθη μόνος, τοῦ πρεσβυτέρου βιαίως ἀποθανόντος.

[223] When on our former journey hither, you inquired of us concerning our brother and our father, we answered you: Our father was an old man, aged, not more because of the power of time, than because of his uninterrupted misfortunes, by which he had been constantly exercised like a wrestler, and has passed his whole life amid labours and calamities hard to be borne. "And our brother is very young, a mere child, loved beyond all measure by his father, since he is the son of his old age, and because also he had but him and one other child by the same mother, and this one alone is left, since the elder died a violent death.
